After one of the receptions al the White

The permit was refused,
remained in w ashin zion till near the
close OF the war. About November, be-
| fore the assassination, Judge Peck went
to Mr.. Lincoln, who was staying out al
| the cottage, and said: "Mr. President,
Gen. Hunler and | both feel uneasy TO
have you mere without a guard"
"NoW Peck" said he, "no one wants to

Yes, and six on each side Of you, too,

you don't object, we shall place an unob-

1t was done; no one feared assassina

suite OF rooms without first inspecting
them. On installing himself in them, he
at once noticed that there was no bell I'm

and work room, and sending for the land
lord he asked him to supply the omis-

Herr Won Bismarck has already taken
the rooms the way they are, and IL is he
who must supply any deficiencies which
may seem to him TO exist" ooh, that is
your answer, is itF' inquired the chan
cellor. Precisely So" answered his
host as he retired with low bow.
Scarcely five minutes later the sharp.
short sound of pistol shot was heard in
the chancellor's room, and Just as the
landlord rushed breathless into the apart

OFT the revolver that was i'm a. n second

SHERIFF SHAW Left Oh Tuesday
morning with Pritchard, who is to
spend term of four years in the
penitentiary for an ofFense OF which
many people think he is innocent.
Prltchard was convicted on circum.
stantial evidence, and public opinion
is decided in saying that he shou d
have received the minimum sentence
only-which is two years. There
should, and no doubt will be an eff.
fort made to have him pardoned in
due time, and in such event the
people of Kihgwood and Preston
County will be, as a rule, willing
and anxious to aid in so just and

The salt Mountain of Palestine.

Palestine possesses n remarkable salt
mountain situated at the south end OF
the Dead sea. The length of the ridge Is
six miles, with an average width OF three
quarters of mile, and the height Is not
far from 600 feet. There are places where
the everything earthly deposits are many
feet in thickness, but the mass OF the
mountain is composed of solid rock salt,
some of which is rs clear as crystal. How
far this deposit of salt extends below the
surface of the ground, no one at present
knows. At some points, this ridge,
which is on the shore of the Dead sea, APP
proachcs very close TO the water, and ut
others it recedes until it is fifty or more
yards from It, Just here the water OF
the Dead sea is much more salt thnn IL IS
at the north end, where the Jordan
enters the lake
ms salt Is government MONOPOLY
The same is true of the salt that is con
tained I'm solution in the Dead sea itself.
If Arabs or the natives of the country
were found getting salt from the shores
OF the Dead sea or from this salt noun
tain, they would be arrested Mt once.
Most of the salt used in Hebron, Jerusa-
lem and elsewhere in this part of Pales-
time, comes from these sources, but it is
gathered under the direction of govern.
mcnt officers, and the revenue is sup
posed TO go To the government-Unitc

To Our Readers.

With this issue of THE ARGUS our
editorial relation with the paper
ceases. 1t was only for the purpose
OF having a Democratic paper in this
county that we consented TO edit and
publish the paper during the past
year. The duties of our profession
have, in degree, prevented us max.
ing the paper what we would liked to
have made it, but we did the best we
could under the circumstances. We
thank our friends for the patronage
received during the past year, and
hope that they will give our successor
even better support than they have
given us-for the reason that we be.
heve they will have better paper in
the future than we have given them
in the past.
We do not believe in making the
editorial tripod "blarney stone" or
towards pulpit therefore we have
no farewell compliments for our
friends or parting shots for our
enemies-for the former might taste
too much of "taffy" and the latter be
too heavily charged with anathemas.

purpose of settling up our business.

answer to Ole Bulls astonished inquiry
the servant told him that the box had
been delivered that day at noon by his

On being broken open the box was
found TO contain twenty-five yiolins and
the following letter: "Great Master
